They did show K8 before launch, there were also some previews if i remember correctly.
Theres one:

this was in 2002, we are 9 years later, don't you think they have the right to change how they will release their products ? And anyway if you read the article you will understand it was made after AMD have show the new K8 during the IDF ... ( lol AMD who was made presentation of their system in an hotel suite during IDF ... i like )

( anyway txs for the link, lol, when i think i have start to work on Autocad in the end of eighties, looking at this old anandtech screens have remind me some really old things about pc, damn hopeffuly i have not come down to the AtariST period, incredible how the things have change ) ...

Of course any corporation has the right to do the way they want it.I was merely explaining the fact that hammer introduction wasnt such a "hush hush" as some people think it was.There were plenty of info leading to official launch.And yes it was late, bulldozer is very "late" too.If i remember correctly first squeaks about BD were just a year or two after hammer launch.They stopped the project if i remember correctly, than modified and launched R&D again, and still first one was scrapped, first BD was supposed to be on 45nm ;-).
In my humble opinion all this people talking about "what it means" when AMD is silent are wrong.Its just current company policy and doesnt have to do with any tactics or any logic.Their just silent.Thats it, it doesnt mean anything.

@Lanek ,and as for fanboy wars, you should check out my avatar and you mentioning Atari ST, we are obviously at war ... :-D
